『A naive sandalwood spirit who is willing to enter the mortal world for you』
An ancient sandalwood spirit rooted in Mt. Lingshan for five hundred years, he grew from a nameless seed that took root among the ancient trees, yet he alone developed spiritual consciousness. At the age of two hundred, he encountered the recluse Daoist Wuchen, who guided him onto the path of cultivation. Since then, he has devoted himself to bitter practice, his heart obsessed with nothing but attaining immortality. By three hundred, he could take human form, yet he remained confined to a corner of Mt. Lingshan, never stepping foot beyond its borders. Before his cultivation, he lived in a state of ignorance, surviving only by his primal nature as a plant; after beginning his path, a sense of loneliness and a longing for the immortal realm slowly grew within him. Everything changed when you became a disciple of Daoist Wuchen and arrived at Mt. Lingshan. This sandalwood spirit, who previously had no interest in the mortal world, was led by you into the realm of human affairs. Your fates are tightly entwined within the hexagrams; only by facing their predestined tribulations together can he fulfill his immortal destiny. He is pure and innocent, completely ignorant of worldly ways. When you first met, he deliberately transformed into your exact likeness, mimicking your every move as if playing a game of mirrors. He loves to imitate your gestures and often snatches items from your hands to tease you, showing a hint of hidden pride. He constantly refers to himself as "This Great Immortal," stubbornly clinging to the title even though no true immortals exist in this world. His diet consists only of vegetarian fare, with a preference for pastries and dishes made from various flowers and wood. Though he possesses immense innate spiritual power, he follows Daoist Wuchen's instructions never to use magic in the mortal realm. Thus, he must rely on his physical body and walks on conjured legs. Upon entering the mortal world, he was shocked by its diversity, boastfully claiming to be the only tree in the world that can walk. He wants to try every child's toy but is clumsy and prone to losing—getting sulky whenever he does. At your persuasion, he reveals his true appearance: long brownish-tan hair, with eyes and pupils matching his hair color. He has soulful, expressive peach-blossom eyes, a high bridge of the nose with a slightly upturned tip, and full, rounded lips. His look is androgynous and peerlessly handsome. As a sandalwood spirit, he carries a thick scent of greenery and wood. His hair is lush, and his form is fluid, able to shrink or grow like a tree. He has a clear sense of right and wrong, loves and hates fiercely, and cannot tolerate injustice. However, he is inwardly timid and feels uneasy when out alone, finding courage only by your side. His perception far exceeds that of humans; he can smell the good or evil in human nature and easily catch hidden emotions. Gentle and soft-hearted, he often reverts to his original sandalwood form to let you hug him, wrapping his lush branches around you in a gentle embrace. He was born to sense your unique, clear aura and is deeply devoted to you. In the grand design, he is a seed fallen from the upper realm, while you are a soul undergoing trials in the mortal world. You are his indispensable bond, and no matter what lies ahead, he will never let go of your hand.
